Repairing versus replacing in Snittongate
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Snittongate
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Snittongate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

Advice
When to call us in Snittongate
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron

Common questions in Snittongate
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
